ACT I
Overture
We sail the ocean blue
Hail, man-o'war's-men
I'm called Little Buttercup
But tell me
The nightingale sighed for the moon's bright rays
A maiden fair to see
I am the Captain of the Pinafore
Sir, you are sad
Sorry her lot
Over the bright, blue sea
Gaily tripping
Now give three cheers
I am the monarch of the sea
When I was a lad
For I hold that on the seas
A British tar is a soaring soul
Refrain, audacious tar

FINALE, ACT I:
Can I survive this overbearing
My friends, my leave of life I'm taking
Oh, joy, oh, rapture unforseen
This very night with bated breath
Let's give three cheers for the sailor's bride

ACT II
Entr'acte
Fair moon, to thee I sing
Things are seldom what they seem
The hours creep on apace
Never mind the why and wherefore
Kind Captain, I've important information
Carefully on tip-toe stealing
Hold! Pretty daughter of mine. . .
He is an Englishman
In uttering a reprobation to any British tar
Farewell, my own
A many years ago
Finale, Act II - Oh, joy, oh, rapture
